Colpo di Sole
A radiant citrus–musky floral that moves from angelica and bergamot through creamy orange blossom, osmanthus, and ambrette into a smooth veil of vanilla, vetiver, and soft musk, evoking sun‑warmed Mediterranean skin.
Scent Development and Character
Colpo di Sole is a luminous citrus–musky floral that opens with the aromatic brightness of angelica root and bergamot, then settles into a supple heart of orange blossom, osmanthus, and ambrette. A smooth base of bourbon vanilla, vetiver, and soft musk adds sun‑warmed depth, balancing radiant freshness with gentle, skin‑like warmth.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Wearing Colpo di Sole feels like stepping into soft Mediterranean sunlight: airy yet enveloping, with a clean musky trail that stays close to the skin. It suits refined daytime wear, relaxed luxury settings, and understated evening occasions where a polished, comforting presence is preferred over bold projection. Well suited to spring and summer for its radiant citrus–floral freshness, and also comfortable in autumn due to its soft musky–vanillic warmth; less ideal for the coldest winter days if very strong projection is desired. Sillage: Soft to moderate sillage, forming a close halo around the wearer rather than a strong projecting trail. Longevity: Moderate to moderately long‑lasting; the musky–vanillic base can linger for most of the day on skin without becoming heavy.
Perfumer and Bottle
Released in 2024, it is presented as Eau de Parfum. The perfumer is Alexandra Carlin. It comes in a 100 mL bottle shaped by Bottega Veneta's design language.
